Adding a Fill Color to a Page

To add a fill color to a page:
1. Create a new Page (Panel > Add Page), or open an existing one (via the Workspace Navigator -
Pages tab).
2. With the Page selected, click on Fill Color, in the States tab of the Properties Control window to
activate the browse button (...).
3. Click the browse button to open the Colors dialog, and select the color that you want to apply to the
Page.

Adding Text to a Page

Since G4 panels utilize address and channel port/address codes (and possess a single state), you can
display text directly on a Page in your project. If you are also displaying a bitmap on the Page, the text
will automatically be displayed on top of the bitmap (unless otherwise directed via the Draw Order
selection by the user - see the Changing the draw order for selected states section on page 139).
To add text to a Page:
1. Create a new Page (Panel > Add Page), or open an existing one (via the Workspace Navigator -
Pages tab).
2. With the Page selected, click Text Color in the States tab of the Properties Control window to
enable the browse button. Click the browse button to open the Colors dialog where you can select a
color for the Page text.
3. Click on Font in the States tab of the Properties Control window to enable the browse button, and
select the desired font (in the Font dialog).
4. Click on Text, in the Properties Control window to open the Enter Text dialog.
5. Type the text to be displayed on the Page (up to 4096 characters), and click OK.
6. Click Text Justification (in the Properties Control window) to set the justification of the text on the
page. Select Absolute to manually position the text.
7. Click Word Wrap, and select whether to wrap text that doesn't fit on a single line on the selected
Page (Yes or No). If you select No, any text that won't fit on the selected Page may not be visible,
depending on the text justification setting and the size of the Page.

Adding a Bitmap to a Page

You can apply a bitmap directly to a Page in your project, to serve as the background image. To add a
bitmap to a Page:
1. Create a new Page (Panel > Add Page), or open an existing one (via the Workspace Navigator -
Pages tab).
2. With the Page selected, click on Bitmap, in the States tab of the Properties Control window to
activate the browse button (...).
3. Click the Browse button to open the Select Resource dialog, and select the bitmap that you want to
apply to the Page.

To change or apply a new sound file to the page, click the browse button to open the
Select Resource dialog, where you can select a sound file (WAV or MP3) from
among those imported into the project. The sound will be played when the page is
opened.
